| I like to think of my self as a fun, kind, and friendly person. My name is Erin McCarthy, and I am a grade 8 student at North Queens School. I moved to West Caledonia from Newfoundland at the age of 7. It has always been a great school, although it was tough when it burned down in 2006. My favorite subject in school has always been English because I love writing. No matter if it is poems, stories, or anything else. I am involved with Student council, Dance Comity, Prom Comity, Fall, and Winter Carnival Comity, and more. I am also an active member of the local 4-H club. I was president for the last two years, and am now secretary. I enjoy playing my guitar, bongos, and piano. Sports are also a big part of my life. I take part in cross country, track and field, and volleyball through school. I am green belt in Arnis De Mano Martial Arts (Karate). I also love to travel, at the age of 5, I spent 9 months in England. This was an amazing experience. I try to be the best that I can, and I will always be me. |
